gollark: I don't know. Why would I know?
gollark: It's amazing how short a definition you need to generate a huge type signature.
gollark: ```haskellx :: (((a0 b0 c0 -> b1) -> (a0 b0 c0 -> (a0 b'0 c'0 -> a0 (b0, b'0) (c0, c'0)) -> b1) -> a0 b0 c0 -> b1) -> (a0 b0 c0 -> (a0 b'0 c'0 -> a0 (b0, b'0) (c0, c'0)) -> b1) -> (a0 b0 c0 -> (a0 b'0 c'0 -> a0 (b0, b'0) (c0, c'0)) -> b1) -> a0 b0 c0 -> b1)x = (>>=) (<*> (***)) >>= (>>>)```
gollark: It takes lots of hard work to make these pointless combinators not typeerror, you know.
gollark: ```haskellhaskell = (($) ***) (<$> (($) .))```
